Microshading (Eyebrow Tattoo) — $350

Soft, pixelated shading that mimics the look of brow powder or pomade. Suitable for most skin types, including oily skin where microblading struggles. Lasts 12 to 24 months. Touch-up at 4–5 weeks included in your treatment plan ($150).

Lip Neutralization — $350

For clients with naturally blue, dark, or unevenly pigmented lips. Corrective pigment colour is applied to neutralise the cool tones before a final blush colour. The technical specialist-level treatment.

Lip Tattoo / Lip Blush — $300

A soft, blurred wash of colour that defines the lip line and adds natural-looking pigment. Think tinted-balm finish, not lipstick. Most popular K-Beauty cosmetic tattoo treatment globally.

Annual Lip Touch-Up — $150

Keeps lip blush results looking fresh. We recommend annual touch-ups for best longevity.

Eyeliner Tattoo — $250

A soft natural line along the upper or lower lash line, or both. Various styles available from subtle "lash enhancement" to a fuller wing. Adds definition without daily eyeliner application.

BB Glow — $199

Semi-permanent foundation effect via microneedling-infused tinted serum. Lasts a few months. The Korean signature treatment for clients who want the look of foundation without applying any.

Beauty Spot — $150

A small placed cosmetic mark — cheek, lip, jaw — for clients wanting a defining feature. Lasts 12 to 24 months.

Touch-Up (4–5 weeks) — $150

Standard practice for both eyebrows and lips — pigment settles unevenly in some areas after the first session, so a touch-up is part of the protocol.

Common Questions

Permanent Makeup FAQs

What is permanent makeup?

Permanent makeup — also called cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation — is a long-lasting cosmetic enhancement where pigment is deposited into the upper layers of the skin to mimic the look of makeup. Most popular treatments are microshading (eyebrows), lip blush, lip neutralization, and eyeliner.

How long does permanent makeup last?

Most permanent makeup lasts 12 to 36 months depending on the technique, your skin type, and lifestyle factors like sun exposure. A touch-up at 4–5 weeks is standard for eyebrows and lips. Annual touch-ups keep results fresh.

How much is permanent makeup in Wellington?

Microshading and Lip Neutralization are $350, Lip Tattoo (1st session) $300, Eyeliner Tattoo $250, BB Glow $199, Beauty Spot $150. Touch-ups within 4–5 weeks are $150.

Does it hurt?

Topical numbing is applied before treatment, which makes most clients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than pain. Lip treatments tend to be the most sensitive; eyebrows are usually well tolerated.

How long does the appointment take?

Allow 2 to 2.5 hours for a first session — consultation, mapping/design, numbing, application, and aftercare instructions. Touch-up appointments are shorter, around 60–90 minutes.

What is BB Glow?

BB Glow is a semi-permanent treatment that infuses a tinted serum into the upper layers of the skin via microneedling — creating a foundation-like finish that lasts several months. Popular for clients who want the look of light, even-toned skin without daily makeup application.
